“Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” (1 Timothy 6:17, NIV)
Even those of us who will not admit to being rich, know we aren’t poor.
Such folks are commanded: “Not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth.”
Whether we consider ourselves “rich” or “poor,” gratitude for what we have received; and hope for the future is properly placed only in God, who is the true source of all that we have.
Remember: Worship the Giver, not the gift. – Luther
Daily Encouragement 
Use it or lose it is a principle that applies equally to mind and to matter – and is the foundational principle of Western states water law, which is how we made the American desert bloom. Reservoirs are OK if they have spillways that limit what can be saved, rules for release and an authority to trigger t he release. It’s all Scriptural. Great commentary.
